Polling shows that the vast majority of people in the United States and Western Europe want negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.
Despite this, NATO opposes a peace proposal made by China and Brazil, and refuses to invite Russia to a so-called “peace conference” that the Western powers are holding in Switzerland from June 15-16.
The Institute for Global Affairs of Eurasia Group, an avowedly pro-NATO and anti-Russia consulting firm that has worked extensively with Western governments, published a study this June titled “The New Atlanticism”.
The survey found that the 94% of people in the US and 88% in Western Europe want a negotiated settlement to end the war in Ukraine.
Just 17% of North Americans and Western Europeans say that the war must continue in order to weaken Russia.
(The poll allowed participants to choose two answers, which explains why the total is larger than 100%).
In May, China and Brazil introduced a joint proposal for peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
In their six-point plan, Beijing and Brasilia called for “an international peace conference held at a proper time that is recognized by both Russia and Ukraine, with equal participation of all parties as well as fair discussion of all peace plans”.
This contrasted with a so-called “peace conference” that the Western powers are holding in Switzerland from June 15-16. Russia was not invited to this NATO-backed “peace summit”, meaning there will not be any actual negotiations between the warring parties to try to end the war.
The Chinese government said it will not participate in the one-sided Switzerland conference, stating that it would only join if Russia was invited as well.
Beijing has made numerous peace proposals to try to end the war in Ukraine. These have been consistently opposed by the US and its NATO allies.
This comes at a very dangerous moment, when the US government is considering deploying more strategic nuclear weapons, aimed at China and Russia, Reuters reported.
Politico revealed in May that the Joe Biden administration had authorized Ukraine to use US weapons to launch attacks inside Russian territory.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced this June that Paris and Western allies had made an agreement to send military trainers to Ukraine. The Washington Post noted that this “is the latest sign that France and other allies may now be willing to put NATO country troops on Ukrainian soil”.
The US and its European allies have already had special operations forces and spies on the ground in Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict. The New York Times admitted this in June 2022. But the number of Western forces was quite small. NATO member states now plan to send even more.

The “western” governments is something of a misnomer: it’s the US and vassals.
Wannabe Napoleon will not put French troops on the New Russian Front, but we know that NATO already has personnel in Ukraine.
The public opinion polls are another great example of the lack of any functioning democracy in the US. The opinions of constituents are routinely ignored and the Bipartisan Consensus (Washington Consensus) always prevails.
The polls about a ceasefire in Palestine, creating a comprehensive health care system etc. etc. have been ignored as always.
The only thing the MassMediaCartel (MiniTrue) focus on is fearmongering (fear and hate The Other: Palestinians, Chinese, Russians, Iranians) and emotional “wedge” issues to divide and distract the public from the institutional corruption, price-gouging and kleptocracy.
The Ukraine project is an utter failure, except for the criminals who stole billions of “aid” and the US MICIMATT who gets all the no-bid contracts worth 10s of billions. War is indeed a racket. (Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler)

Zelensky is not a legitimate President of Ukraine since May 21. Putin mentioned this at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). If Zelensky is so sure that the people stand behind him, then why didn´t he allow the elections to take place in Ukraine, as Putin did it in Russia? It´s very dangerous to sign anything with an illegitimate entity, because everything you sign could be declared invalid later on.

It´s also important to note that the UN has the right to impose sanctions according to Article 41 of the UN Charter and order military actions by air, sea, or land forces of it´s members if those measures did not work. The US-led West is constantly using such measures without ever invoking these Articles at the UN. Otherwise Russia or China could veto them, join with their militaries, send inspectors or establish agencies according to Article 59 to keep an eye on all parties, control the illegitimate flows of money and resources as well as to investigate the origins of the conflict. This could prevent almost any major conflict in the world and force all parties to either negotiate or face actual consequences, including Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, but the US-led West depends on wars and chaos to keep it´s hegemony, extract taxpayers’ money, steal resources and hide financial fraud, e.g. the US international debt and infinite $ printing.

“… order military actions by air, sea, or land forces of it´s members…” = Article 42 of the UN Charter

“Peace” summit in Switzerland which excludes Russia is actually a NATO WAR conference.
“Food delivery” pier built by Biden on Gazan coast is in fact used by Israelis to raid and DELIVER DEATH to Gazans.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
